MONEY MARKET AND 00111111gItCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. t There is little that is new to report in connection With the money market. No one who can wait and see the result of the Bank Court on Thursday next will bring forward their bills fer negotiation, be cause it is very probable that the rate for discount will be reduced one per cent. The market, there fore, remains exceedingly quiet, although the brokers, who have very large sums lying idle, are even willing to negotiate business in short dated securities at 8 per cent. The price for three months' paper has declined to 81 and Si per cent. ; but for all these concessions the public can only be induced to part with those securities for which they require immediate cash. A further sum of £20,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Messrs D ovey , B en j am i n, an d Co., connected with the trade of Brazil, have suspended payment. The failure is stated to have been caused through the late mercantile disturbance at Rio, and the assets, it is believed, will prove to be considerable, and the loss therefore entailed upon the estate small. Sub joined is a copy of the letter sent to the creditors:— 6, Crosby-square, London, Nov. 7, 1864. It is with deep regret we inform you that we have been compelled to suspend our payments. We had hoped, by the Bra ailian mail just arrived, we should have received such in formation as would have obviated the necessity of our taking this step ; that, however, not being the case, regard for the interests of our creditors leaves us no other alternative. W e have accordingly placed our fakirs in the hands Of Messrs Quilter, Ball, and Co., who will investigate them, and report the result to our creditors at a meeting, which will be convened with all convenient despatch. We never theless still entertain the hope that our suspension will be but temporary. We are your most obedient servants, (Signed) DOVEY, BENJAMIN, AND CO. I) utiog the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugar has been dealt in to a fair "tent, at late rates. For coffee there has bceu Only a moderate demand at about previous rates, w hile l tea, ri ce, saltpetre, and tallow have remained du ti , any material change to report in value. 4 At th e P Two O'CLOCK. art Bourse this day, according to Reuter' telegram, the 3 per Cent.

Court Cirmitat WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 7. The Queen wakes and drove in the grounds this morning, accompaniend by her Royal High ness Princess Beatrice. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise went out, attended by Madlie. B .uer. Her Royal Highness Princess Helena rode in the Riding School. His Rays' Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel the Hon. J. Macdonald, arrived at the Castle last evening, and accompanied the Duchess of Cemblidge to London this morning. Tho Duchess of Cambridge attended Divine ser vice at St. George's Chapel yesterday afternoon. Her Royal Highness, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lieutenant-Colonel C.ifton, left the Castle this morning for London. Earl Granville also left the Castle. Return of the Prince and Frincese of Wales. The Royal yacht Osborne, Commander George H. K. Bower, having the Royal standard flying at the main, made her appearance off Woolwich Arse nal yesterday, at a quarter before two p.m., having on board the Prince and Princess of Wales and suite on their return to England. The Osborne sailed from Antwerp at noon on Sunday, and, with the exception of a slight gale which rose soon after midnight, the passage was calm and favourable. The yacht arrived and anchored off the Girder Light, near Ramsgate, at half-past two yesterday morning, and awaited the mid-day tide to proceed up the river. A notice to that effect was tele graphed to the authorities at Woolwich from Capt. Bower at an early hour in the morning. Captain Gordon, C. 8., superintendent of military stores, then gave orders for the preparation of the T pier, so that a landing might be made with comfort at low tide. The arrangements were admirably exe cuted, the lower platform steps and pier throughout being decorated with bunting and carpeted with clean tent cloths. The tide had begun to ebb, and the yacht, assisted by a couple of tugs from the dockyard, succeeded, after some little delay, in turning and facing the stream, and was brought up close alongside the pier. Prince Arthur, who had ridden down from the hanger's house in Green wich Park (attended by Major Elphinstone, R.A.), then stepped on board and spent a few minutes with the Prince and Princess previously to their coming on deck. On their appearance soon after at the head of the gang way they were received by General Warde, C.B. commanding the garrison, attended by his aide-de camp, Captain Williams ; Major Ord, Acting- Major of Brigade ; Captain Nangle, Deputy-Assis tant- Quartermaster... General ; Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., and his secretary, Mr. Ponsonby ; Capt. Gor don, Superintendent of the Store Department ; Lieutenant-Colonel Clerk,Lieutenant- Colonel Shaw, and Captain Boyle, superintending officers of the Royal Carriage-square ; Capt. Majendie, Instruc tor Royal Laboratories, and officers in full dress uniforms. Their Royal Highnesses both shook hands cordially with General Warde, and hav ing remained some minutes in conversation on the maindeck of the ship, they were escorted by the officers above named to their carriages at the entrance to the pier. Both the Prince and Princess appeared in excellent health,and graciously acknow ledged the salutations of numbers of spectators who had assembled on the landing...place. A Royal solute was fired from the flagship Fisgard on the Osborne's being sighted in the offing at Woolwich, and the Royal standard was hoisted on the arsenal flagstaff, but no other demonstrations were observed in conse quence of an official order from the War Department desiring that the reception should be "as quiet as possible" by the Prince's special desire. They were attended by Mrs. Grey, Lieut.aGeneral Knollys, Colonel Keppel, and D. Minter (Inspector-General of Hospitals and Fleets), and a large number of ser vants. Their Royal Highnesses, accompanied by Mrs. Grey, left Woolwich in the first carriage, and drove direct to London, and the remainder followed:; the luggage being conveyed in a couple of spacious fourgons. The Osborne is under orders to replenish with fuel at the dockyard and afterwards proceed to Portsmouth. 3HE STJN, LOIN DON, TUESDAY EVENING, IS OVEMBER S, 1861. Princess Louis of Hesse. The following is the latest bulletin issued re specting the Princess Alice : " Her Royal Highness the Princess Louis is now completely convalescent, and, as well as the young princess, is in good health. No more daily bulle tins will now be issued. " Dr. PRIESTLEY. " Dr. WEBER. " Darmstadt, Nov. 4, 1864." A communication, dated on Saturday last, con firms this official announcement, and states that the princess had passed a good night. Her royal highness had received visits from the Prince and Princess of Wales, on their way through Germany ; and from Prince Alfred, who had tra velled to Darmstadt from Bonn, where he is at pre sent residing for the purpose of completing his studies. Foreign Courts. BERLIN, Nov. 5. Early yesterday morning the King of Prussia, accom panied by the Emperor of Russia, left Berlin by special train for the purpose cf hunting in the Letzling Forest, The Grand Duke of Weimar, Princes Charles and Albert of Prussia, Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg, the Duke of Ujest, Prince Bogislav Radziwill, Field. Marshal von Wrangel, M. Bismarck, the Minister of War, and other Ministers also travelled by the train and took part in the sports. The royal and imperial party returned this even ing, and at ten o'clock the Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke Constantine left Berlin by special train on the Lower Silisian Railway for St. Petersburg. The King, the princes, and the members of the Russian Embassy were present at his Majesty's departure. Prince Gortschakoff, who had had several conferences with M. Bismarck, re turned to St. Petersburg on the previous day. VIENNA, Nov. 3. The Augsburg Gazette states that the departure of Lord Bloomfield from Vienna, on three months' leave of absence, during the late political crisis, has given rise to much astonishment. The departure was so sudden that a mem ber of the English embassy, at Munich, was telegraphed for to take charge of affairs, as the first secretary at Vienna was ill. The well known cause of his lordship's hasty de parture, however, was the,_condition of Lady Bloomfield, who, it is stated, was suffering from a chest complaint. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at Mailborough House yesterday shortly after their arrival. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge wil shortly honour the Earl and Countess of Derby by his Cone , pany at Knowsley Park, Lancashire. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who came to town on Saturday from Kimbolton Castle, Hunts, left yesterday for Knowsley Park, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Duchess of Somerset and Lady Gwendoline St. Maur have left the Admiralty for Bulatrodo Park, Bueka. The Duke of Roxburghe bee arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Floors Castle. Prince P. Wittgenstein and Count Demidoff havo arrived at Long's Motel. The E%rl and Countess of Wilton were to leave Heaton Hall yesterday to join a party visiting the Earl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley Park. The E irl and Countess Spencer are residing at St. Leonards, and not receiving company at Althorp Hall. " Tom THUMB" is about to visit England with his wife and child. MR. HERBERT, R.A., left England for the East on Saturday last, It is his intention, it is said, to remain there some months, with a view to collect materials for the execution of other works of a similar character to that which has excited so much admiration in the Peers' Robing Room. Mr Herbert is accompanied by his son, Wilfred himself an artist of considerable promise. AMONG MR MILLAIS'S CONTRIBUTIONS to the forthcoming Exhibition of the Royal Academy will be an oil picture of, the design which formed so valuable a part of his illustrations to " The Parables," representing the " Devil sowing Tares" ; also a picture having for subject Mr Tennyson's " Oh, swallow, swallow, flying south." The former will form the artist's diploma picture at the Royal Academy. The National Association for the Promotion of Social science, The opening meeting of the department of Jurisprudence and Amendment of the Law was held last night at the office of the society, 1, Adam-street, Adelphi. The chair was taken by the Right Hon. Lord Brougham, and on his right sat M. Berryer, the distinguished French advocate, and M. Desmarest, batonnier of the French bar. Among those present we observed the Attorney. General, Sir F. Kelly, 151,P., Q C.; Sir P. Cochrane, Judge of Gibraltar; S'r Eardiey Wilmot, Mr Daniell, Q C., Mr Forsyth, Mr D. Lee, the Right Hon. the Judge-Advocate, Sergeant Pulling, Sergeant Burke, Sergeant A kinson, Sergeant Parry, S,r geant Simm, Mr Newt). M.P,, the Hon. G. Denman, the Hon. D. Campbell, IV. Hawes, EFT, J. Parkes, Esq., Mr Macqueen, &3,, &c. The entry of the two illustrious strangers was bailed with warm app'ause. Mr G. M . HASTINGS, general secretary, then read an address from the standing committee, which in the first in stance alluded to the able address of Sir `Villia►n Erle, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, at the last meeting of the association, held at iYerk in September last, upon the present condition of English law, especially the absence of a digest of recorded decisions by the different equity and common law courts. It referred to the evils which at present ari e from the want of an organisation of :the profession throughout the country, and the want cf authority to cor rect the evils and irregularities which arise on various occa sions. The patent law was next alluded to, and it suggested that patent cases should be tried without a jury, but with the aid of scientific men. The bankrupt law was next brought under consideration, and it was said that it now gave great dissatisfaction to the mercantile eommunity, and referred to the opinion given by the committee which sat on the subject during the last session of Parliament. The in quiry was to be renewed in the next session, when it was hoped the difficulties surrounding the question would be re moved. The report, in conclusion, stated the present meet ing was called a week earlier than usual in order to have the honour of receiving their two distinguished visitors—one of whom was the most illustrious advocate of the French bar, and the other the official head of that bar. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in moving that the report be received and printed, said it called attention to many sub jects of the greatest interest and importance, and in a manner which would recommend them to the serious consideration of all who were called upon to deal with them practically. On this occasion ho could not, of course, avoid giving expression to his own feel ings, and the feelings of those around him, as to the in teresting circumstance which led to the assemblage of the members being so large. They certainly hoped to show M. Berryer to-morrow that the English bar was more numerous than anybody that could be contained in that romp, which was devoted only to the delibera ions, in a private way, of a society whose object was the amendment of the law. He should not be surprised if M. Berryer saw one of the finest and most ancient of the halls in the metro polis as well filled to-morrow night by members of the bar as now was that room to which many were unable to ob tain admittance. He believed he expressed the unanimous feeling of the profession when he said they were proud to see him, proud to honour him, and felt highly honoured by his presence. (Cheers.) Sir F. KELLY, in seconding the motion, said it was hn • possible for him to express his gratification in meeting on such an occasion by far the most illustrious member of the bar of France known to the present generation—in seeing an individual who being a native of that country in which great changes had taken place within the memory of all of us—in its Government, in its constitution, and in its des- tiny—had ever remained faithful to the purest principles of liberty, and to the independence of the bar and the people. (Cheers) They also saw before them a very eminent and able member of the French bar—one who had by the members of his profession" been elected to the high and honourable office of batonnier of the bar of France, M. Desmarest, whose reputation was not only good and brilliant in his own country, but had spread throughout Europe and the world. Ho had come amongst thaw to show his appreeiation of the bar of England—it was not the first time—and to declare, as he hoped he would have an opportunity of doing to .morrow, that amongst the members of the English bar and the bgr of France, as well as of every bar throughout Europe, the principles of liberty and independence prevailed—that there was ao substantial difference of opinion between them, and that they were all united together by a spirit of fraternity. He therefore re joiced that, under the presidency of their illustrious leader, Lord Brougham, they should once, at least, in his great career be honoured by the presence of such eminent per sonages. The hon. and learned gentleman then spoke in terms of praise of the address of Sir T. Wilde at York, and said they could not hope for any success in the codification of the law until they had settled upon some satisfactory principle for the complete consolidation of the statutes. He expressed himself in favour of allowing the counsel for the defence in criminal cases to sum up the evidence, and of other reforms in the law which he hoped would soon be carried into effect. After a few words from Mr. HEADLIM, M.P., Lord BROUGHAM quite agreed with the,Attornoy-General hat it was not to be expected he should express opinions on that occasion upon the various points in the address of the association. Indeed, no opinions were expressed in the ad dress, it being simply a statement of the different subjects which required consideration; and he doubted whether any one would question that they did require consideration. He was struck with one or two things, and partially the changes in the decisions of the courts and the authority of the de cisions, He wall remembered a most distinguished gentle man answering a question of his—whether the case of Thompson v. Jackson was now reckoned an authority. His answer was, that it was a good authority in every case in which the plaintiff's name was Thompson and the defend . ant's name was Jackson, but that it would not go much farther. (Laughter.) Something was said about the import taut attempt repeatedly made to extend the measure allow ing the admission of the parties to give evidence in civil cases to criminal cases, where the party tendered himself and wished to be examined, and where, of course, he would be subjected to a sifting cross-examination. That any one should be compelled to 'be cross-examined, and particu larly cross-examined by a judge with all the information before him, and with every other means for cross-examina tion, as in France —and this was one of the very worst parts of the French criminal procedure—to any provision of that kind he would be strenuously opposed ; but he thought the accused in a criminal case might be examined under the circumstances he had mentioned. The noble lord concluded by expressing his pleasure at the meting being attended by he distinguished visitors who had honoured them with their presence. The motion for the adoption of the report was then una nimously agreed to. M. EERRYER (who spoke in French, and was loudly cheered) said he was much indebted to Lord Brougham for having introduced him to such an assembly, and that he had listened with admiration—and even with a certain jea lousy—to the discussion that bad taken place upon the amendment of the law. He =chided by claiming the honour of becomin g a member of the associat i on, (Cheers.)ld. D Esm AREsT, who wa s also warmly greeted, said ke hoped to-morrow to address another assembly in his own language; but he asked parmission, in the familiar meeting of that evening, to speak a little English. He had reasons for doing so. He confessed he was afraid to speak French by the side of his illustrious neighbour—the comparison in their native language would be too dan gerous. (Laughter.) He should not, however, escape that danger to morrow ; b ut he was perfectly resolved to be beaten then. (Laughter.) But that night he profited by their indulgence; and as he did not speak in his native lan guage he had a chance of not being completely understood by that most dangerous sweetness which could cross-exa mine him it he spoke in French, (Laughter.) Among the things which Sir F itzroysellyhad said, what particularly touched him was his allusion to the international sympathy w hich existed between the mem b ers o f t h e b ar i n diff eren t Ho accepted th a t , for the feeling was in his years ago he conversed upon that feeling in cnSoepunalirintt.r,ielsSt'anlym,eand other countries of Europe where he had travelled, When he had the good chance to come to Eng land he met this societ y , un der the able direction of Lord h e in enrolled amatG himselflasgow and beca me a mem b er o f i t ; an d having under its b anner, h e su b sequen tl y B ro ug Edinburgh, and London. He I e could its therefore g a faithful soldier of the association. (Hear, hea r .) Its aim was th e un ifi cat i on o f I legislation, and already ! had attained great results. attended meetings Another international ass ociati on had s i nce b een f oun d e d on the same basis and w ith the same objects in view, and it had held its meeting s at Br ussels, Ghent, and Am sterdam.atDublin,being Lord BROUGHAM—It is the elder daughter of the asso ciation. (Hear, hear.) DESMAREST hoped this family would grow for the benefit of mankind, and for the welfare and peace of all na tions. They were all interested in that object, and if the great and liberal English nation directed its thoughts to that end it would accomplish great results. After some further remarks the learned gentleman thanked the meeting for their hearty reception of him, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause. The Hon. G. DENUAN, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to M. Berryer and M, Demarest for honouring the association with their presence. The motion was seconded by Mr FORSYTII, and carried by acclamation. M. BERRYER acknowledged the compliment in a few words. A vote of thanks to Lord Brougham, moved by the ATTORNEY GENERAL ; concluded the proceedings. NEW PEEES.—Five new peers will be entitled to take their seats in the House of Lord!, at the commence naencement of the next session of Parliament, viz., Lord Harry Vane, formerly M.P. for Hastings, who has suc ceeded to the dukedom of Cleveland—the Earl of Lincoln, who has succeeded to the dukedom of Newcastle—Viscount Boringdon, who has become Earl of Morley—Viscount Chelsea, who has succeeded to the earldom of Cadogan— and the Earl Jermyn, lately M.P. for West Suffolk, who has become Marquis of Bristol. Lord Rodney, whose father died on the 19th of August, will not be able to take his seat until 1878, when ho will be of age. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF A GANG OF UTTERERS OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.—Wm. Bolter, of Thrawl-street, Spitalfields, shoe maker ; Wm. Richardson, of Dean-street, Fetter-lane, shoemaker; and John Byrne, of Harp-court, Farringdon. street, who described himself as a" professional singer," were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with conspiring together and knowingly uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mr Wm. Darlington, of the Golden Lion, 42, Wardour. street. Soho ; also with uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mrs Maria Jackson, wife of Mr Jackson, of the Crown, 356, Oxford-street ; and with uttering another counterfeit half-crown piece to Mr Braddick, 422, Oxford street. Mr Darlington said—Last night a little before 6 o'clock the prisoners came into my house and called for half a quar tern of gin. Bolter threw down a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, 2s 3id. Richardson touk out his pocket-book and said he had an appointment with a gentle mad. I then looked at the coin, and finding it was a coun terfeit, I said, " You had better give me change back as the coin is counterfeit." Bolter gave me back the change, but said he had more change, and he did not want to change a sovereign. Richardson said he had 21,d, and gave it to me, and the prisoners then left, taking the counterfeit half-crown with them, but which I had marked. I followed them into Oxford-street, where they parted and; joined again under the , portico of the Pantheon, I then saw a constable and told him what I had seen, and directly after the prisoners went into another publichouse, and on finding that they had passed the coun terfeit half-crown Caere, they were directly taken into custody. Mrs Maria Jackson said—Richardson and Bolter came into our house yesterday evening, and Bolter called for half a guar tern of gin. I served them, and Richardson gave me a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, not suspecting the coin was bad, As soon as the prisoners left Mr Darlington came in and spoke to me, and I then found the coin was bad. Bolter had been in the house a second time, and passed a counterfeit two shilling piece to the barmaid in payment of half a quartern of gin. Mr Braddick said—Yesterday evening about eight Bolter came into my shop and took a loaf out of the window and tendered me a half-crown piece in payment. Just as I was giving Bolter change Richardson came in and took off my attention, and having been ill for a long time I was off my guard. I put the coin in the till, and directly the prisoners left I found it was bad. Joseph Smith, 327 A, proved following and watching the prisoners for some time, accompanied by Mr Darling ton, and subsequently, with Pratt, 311 A, taking them into custody. Pratt, 311 A, said on searching Byrne he found a coup• terfeit half-crown in his possession. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners for the attentanco of the Mint authorities. THAMES. A MISTAKE.—A poor and decent woman, who was much agitated, and who gave the name of Anne Frances Mackenzie, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. A police-constable, No. 181 K, stated that at two o'clock this morning he found the prisoner stretched on the ground in Sutton-street, St. George-in-the. East. She was quite insensible, and he concluded she was dead drunk, and con• veyed her to th e station-house. She continued cold and senseless. She was put before the fire and warmed, and the inspector and himself chafed her hands and revived her. She had two or three fits, and the divisional surgeon of police was hastily summoned, who prescribed for her, and said she was not intoxicated, but ill, and subject to epileptic fits. He ordered her removal to the workhouse, and she had just left there to answer the charge — Mr Paget—Not of drunkenness. She was not drunk. No, Sir, it was a -mistake. She was treated kindly at the station-house, and we paid her every attention. Mr Paget--I am glad to hear it. It is a very natural mistake indeed. She can go back to the workhouse. Witness—She has a home to go to. She is a very respect able woman and works in a pickling warehouse. The prisoner—l am subject to fits. lam very glad he did find mo. Mr Paget—lt was very fortunate for you the policeman did flail you. You ought to be much obliged to him. The prisoner then left the court. The Yarmouth Beachmen and the Lifeboat. The following communication has been addressed by the secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution to a contem porary, in reply to some comments by it on the recent dis creditable conduct of the Yarmouth beachmen in refusing to go off in the lifeboat to the rescue of the crew of the wrecked steamer Ontario on the Hasborough Sands : As you invite, by your interrogatives, some replies on the system of management of the lifeboats at Yarmouth, I trust you will insert the following remarks on that subject. The lifeboat system which has hitherto prevailed there has been rather peculiar, There are, I believe, at that port between 200 and 300 beachmen, These are divided into six or seven companies, each company comprising from 30 to 40 men. These companies are banded together in some thing like a union, so that one company cannot undertake to work the lifeboat without the sanction of the rest. Hitherto the practice has been that one company under takes to work the lifeboat during a year, at the end of which period the boats are shifted to the charge of another company. Again, when the lifeboats are launched to the help of a shipwrecked crew the men who have actually gone off in the lifeboat are compelled, by their own private rules, to share their reward with those " who have tarried at home to divide the spoil." It is clear, therefore, that there can be no great induce ment among men so situated for individual exertion or risk of life in cases of shipwreck. As the Young company had undertaken to work the life boat for a year, Mr Butcher, the local honorary secretary of the institution, had a reasonable right to expect that the beachmen would, at his direction, man the lifeboat on the 19th ult., and particularly as the men had never expressed to him any dissatisfaction with the institution. The question, then, naturally arises, can such a state of things be remedied ? It can only be brought about by the good sense of the beachmen themselves ; and it is hoped that on further consideration by the parent and branch Lifeboat Institutions a better plan than that which has hitherto ob tained at Yarmouth far manning the lifeboats will be adopted. Indeed, two of the companies have already con sented constantly to work (the small surf lifeboat, which is intended to render assistance to the crews of vessels wrecked close to the shore. But the large lifeboat, 40ft long, is exclusively employed for sailing, and is nearly unmanageable in rough weather under oars, She is engaged to go off to the rescue of the crews of vessels wrecked on the numerous outlying sand banks, some of which are many miles from Yarmouth. In 1857 the two Yarmouth lifeboats were brought into connexion with this institution. Since then the large life boat has saved six lives from the brig ZJphyr, of Whitby. The boat was towed out by a steamer. It was a noble ser vice, and the Yarmouth beachmen showed then what they could do in such cases. For that service the lifeboat's crew received from the institution £23, and £2O was also given to the steamer. This same lifeboat has also gone off since 1857 to 13 other vessels in distress, but the services of the boat on these occasions were happily not required, because the vessels had either got out of danger or their crews had been rescued by other means. For these latter services the men received altogether from the National Lifeboat Institu• tion £l4l lOs 6d. Again, it should be stated that during the past six years their small surf lifeboat has saved 26 shipwrecked persons, and that for these and other services the institution has paid the men £B6 16s. In conclusion, I trust you will allow me to add a few words on the general system of management on the coast of this society's lifeboats. With the exception of those at one or two places, our boatmen and fishermen, be it said to their great credit, are ever ready in cases of emergency to man the lifeboats of the institution, It is true that the lifeboats are the first of their class, that their crews have the utmost confidence in their qualities, and that, in addition to the inexpressible satisfaction of aiding to save a fellow-creature from a pre mature death, the crews are new certain of a stipulated amount for their laudable services. Their pecuniary rewards for such services consist of 103 to each man comprising the lifeboat's crew for day service, and 20s per man for sight duty. those rewards being totally irrespective of the num ber of lives saved as you supposed. Indeed, it occasionally happens that the lifeboat puts off sometimes during a midnight storm to a vessel which was showing signals of distress. By the time the lifeboat has arrived at the spot the vessel has got out of danger. The lifeboat's crew are, of coarse, paid precisely the same as if their boat had returned freighted with a shipwrecked crew. In the report of the meeting of this institution in the news papers of this day it will be seen that the crew of the Teign•- mouth lifeboat received £l3 for saving one man. On the recommendation of the local oommittee the lifeboat crews are paid double the amount of the usual scale if they incur extraordinary risk or exposure, either in saving or attempt ing to save life ; and in the event of a fatal accident occur ring to a lifeboatman it has been the practice for the insti tution immediately to undertake to make temporary provi sion for his widow or those dependent on him. As soon as the return of the service is received at the institution a check to pay the men is usually sent off by that night's pest. Altogether the system of manning the society's lifeboats has hitherto worked admirably on the coast, the men thoroughly understanding the nature of their implied con tract with the institution• Last year the boat mvere manned on all by about 6,000 men, and providentially not a life was lost from them. Wherever a lifeboat has been established the object of the National Lifeboat Institution is by means of the quarterly exercise of the boat, to accustom the ablest boatmen or fishermen of the place to its use in cases of shipwreck. These are all volunteers, for it would be absolutely imprac ticable to keep throughout the year so large a body of men in the permanent pay of any charitable institution, in addi tion to the fact that in the event of any member of a perma nent paid crow on an emergency being absent from illness, or any other cause, it - would perhaps be difficult to supply his place.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, IticuanD LEWIS, Secretary, Royal National Lifeboat Institution. 14, John-street, Adelphi, W.C., Nov. 5.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-IGths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By adviczs from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-luths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is quoted 278 to 280 per cent., and the pre mium on gold 157 to 158} per cent. Gold still continues 10 be imported in very moderate quantities.

REMOYAL OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION BUILDING. —The remaining half of the Albert Tower, operated upon on Saturday has since fallen by tho force of its own gravity. Yesterday some further charges of gunpowder and gun cotton were fired into the foundaions of the tower, which on Saturday resisted displacement, N‘ ith the view of gradually weakening and undermining it at the base. Owing to the close proximity of a whole terrace of inhabited houses in the Cromwell-road, immediately facing, this portion of the ex perimental operations and removal has to be carried out with extreme care and circumspection, the distance between the terrace and the tower extending only over the imme diate roadway of some 40ft.

When the doc trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt tined no preparations of cocoa either at-. tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state or 50 unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 18.39 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length he succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first iniscosa i p n theosit ion ' and so refined b t to producethe perfect an article t i c u l r e a t ple it receives process it passes thro,gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Massa, in his wo.k "Adulteration of Food," says oeoa con aths a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredie.it necessary to the growth and sustenance of the Cody." Again: "As a nutii tive, cocoa stands very much higher than e ther coffee or tes." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, tilled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined alb., Ob., and lib. labelled packets, and sold by grocers, confectioners, and chemists.—[ADVT.
